May Bank Holiday weekend hosts the ultimate hair and beauty experience. Europe’s biggest showcase for Afro Hair & Beauty LIVE is back, taking place on May 25th and 26th 2014 at the Business Design Centre, Islington.

Here is sneak peek of what will be taking place this at the Afro Hair & Beauty Live!

Afro Hair & Beauty LIVE is the only place you’ll find award winning hairdressers, specialist beauticians and cutting edge fashion all under one roof. Take the time to be indulged with a customised manicure at one of the many pop-up beauty booths or take the stress off you mind with an Indian head massage or spa facial. The show has everything you could wish for from henna tattoos to professional eyebrow threading and eyelash extensions – all at cut prices.

This year’s fashion boutique is bigger and better than ever, with beautiful ranges of clothing and accessories at discount prices, you need to be there to bag those one-off pieces!

Sensationnel Icon is without a doubt one of the shows main attractions and its back in full force for 2014. Stylists will show the nation what they are made of in a battle to become the next Sensationnel Icon.

As usual the competition will be divided in to three categories – Braid Impact, Weave Genius and Avant Garde Icon. The competitors will show two styles and then all collections will be presented on the catwalk in true Afro style. There can only be one winner per category and those lucky stylists will walk away with £250 cash and £250 worth of Sensationnel products! This show is one show not to be missed!

I know folks tend to get this done just before the year end, but you know how life goes.

Anyway, I was on a little self challenge to use up as much of the stash and try to remember to save as much bottles as I can remember. I started this personal challenge around July-ish 2013. The items listed are roughly from July – December 2013.

So here is my first official use up the stash list, I was even more motivated to carry this challenge. When I went for the bag and saw how many items I have faithfully emptied. I’ve already put up another bag in my bathroom, in preparation for session #2 starting from January 2014. I’ve even gone through my stash and took out all the items I aiming to use up by around June of this year. Those items will be set out in another post.

Also those products I have reviews on will be hyperlink, so all you need to do is click on the name of the product(s) listed and it will take you straight to the review. Those that do not have a link, the review will be posted shortly.

Without further a due here are all the goodies used in this £-pounder stretcher bag. Drum-roll……….,

Promises: This 8 ounce jar is filled with butters, proteins and oils that will condition and detangle hair on impact. This product will practically slide those kinks right out your hair. It is super slippery, and has an amazing smell *banana hint*. I recommend this product as a pre-wash which is my personal favorite or just a plain old leave in. It will assist and prevent matting. It will remove any unwanted shedding that causes tangles and knots. It will also allow the scalp to feel cleansed.

Directions: Use this product as a pre-wash which is my personal favorite or just a plain old leave in. It will assist and prevent matting.
